    The burger’s halfway to my mouth when it’s backhanded away.  Bread, veggies, and patty separate as they arc through the air and rebound off a wall.  I instinctively finish biting down, and blink in surprise when my teeth meet with a small click.  A bearded, pony-tailed face darts down, an inch away from mine, and…

    That discipline that infuriates you?  That nettles your mind and makes you feel like screaming in rage?  If you endure it, then you will become more flexible, and more able to endure your cravings.   So the choice becomes simple:  the initial rankling that comes from discipline, or the eternal powerlessness that arises from craving.

    The world’s collective consciousness has been invaded by a dark, nightmare-inducing entity called Grammar Nerd Shadow.  Every night for the past ten years, GNS has invaded the sleep of billions across the planet to insert asinine, pedantic corrections into any stories that the sleeping masses might be dreaming up.  I’ve been tapped to combat this heinous piece…

    Everyone at point “a” wants to be at point “z” (desired state).  But who wants to exhibit the discipline, humility, and sacrifice to navigate points b through y?  Not only that, but luck is needed as well.  There is no guarantee of success; the only guarantee is grinding, exacting effort.   But is there any…

    Thunder splits the sky.  I’m spending the weekend in a cabin with some buddies when we hear a knock.  We all flinch but try to hide it.  I get up and walk slowly toward the door.  My hands grasps the knob and I look back at my friends; they’re all looking at me with widened eyes.…

  • Echo 4 Tidbit

    I’ve known for a long time how the Echo series would end.  The problem I’ve recently been facing is how do I stay true to the theme and create a finale that could match or surpass my favorite moment in Echo 3—the appearance of the “blaze avatar.”  It came to me after a bike ride…

    The world is layered with traps—ones that use the control mechanisms of instant gratification and immediate discomfort.  To avoid these traps, it is necessary to utilize training and discipline. We must train ourselves to be proactive agents, rather than reactive beasts.

    Eons ago, Corporate seized the reigns of earthly power.  Oceans froze over, leaving behind foreboding sculptures of ice-carved waves.  Forests were quickly replaced with deserts.  The technological marvels of the information age went ominously dark; they now occupy vast, empty halls where the spiders spin and the great circuits fall quiet, one by one.  I’m in one of…
